Well, you can also hire an on-site programmer to work in your office, make him sign a work contract, and he can just show up and do nothing every day until you fire him, and you still have to pay him.
Hiring someone has many risks (other risks include a final low quality product, excessive time to finish the work, etc), and I believe it's a matter of balancing risk vs gain, and also doing the required diligence --checking reputation, previous works, references if any-- etc.
The people who are scammed are usually the ones who are looking for the cheapest possible option to start on their work 'ASAP', without taking into consideration the experience of the new hire, communication skills, and any other thing that makes someone a great asset to have around. Scammers will just fail in this area, and that's why I don't have any problems paying upfront, and also the reason why my clients don't have any problems paying me upfront either.
Just my 2c
